Upgrade from 2.9.2 to 3.0 rc1. Admin login problem…

I did all the proper backing up of files and data, so nothing is lost forever. I deactivated all my plugins, and I deleted all the old files except for wp_config and a couple of others. I have a previous test site of WP 3.0, so I used that wp_config.

I changed all my wp_1_*datatable names* to just wp_*datatable names*. I ran the upgrade database program as I tried to access my Dashboard, and my site is back up, minus plugin functionality.

Well. Put in the htaccess stuff I have you, and that’ll take care of the rewrite rules it mentioned. If the rest is working then yay! And I’ll poke around and see if this needs a trac or if I’m just being extra thick headed!

Thank you all for your diligent and passionate work! As a long-time WordPress user I fully appreciate the effort being expended here and wish to convey my gratitude to you all. CHEERS! Eager to see the final release, I’m sure it will ROCK!!

I deleted the blog.php file, and the message went away. I made sure the ms-files.php was present. All ‘seems’ to be OK other than not having the Network menu you’re referring to. What I have seen are network options in other places, like in activating themes and plugins. I don’t mean just in the Super Admin part, but contextually within my Dashboard.

What I eventually want, if I’m going to get use out of multisite, is for Users to ‘subscribe’ via one site and access to others as a result.

The network menu just shows you how to set your blog up, so it’s not like you’re missing out on anything huge. To the point that … I didn’t even notice I didn’t have it on my MU->MS site until recently 🙂

I went through the upgrade from MU 2.9.2 to 3.0 Multisite as directed and it went ok. I am also missing the Network link in Tools and I am having some Admin link problems. In the Super Admin -> Sites area, when I try to move between site backends, the URL’s are not updating. They stay relative to whatever site backend I happen to be in. So for example, if i’m in at site1/wp-admin and I try any of the links for site2, they still lead to site1/wp-admin. I’ve checked my .htaccess and it seems to be right. Any ideas?

It’s the same, whatever site I am in the backend of the admin links only lead to that site. Another example, when I am in the My Sites area, where there are links to Visit and Dashboard for each of my sites, the visit links lead to the correct URL’s, but the Dashboard links, all lead to the admin area of whatever site’s backend I am in.

All the menu links are working as expected, Appearance, Tools, etc. It’s the links between the sites’ admin areas that aren’t functioning correctly.

If I am in Super Admin -> Sites, the link to each of my sites “Backend” leads to whatever site I am currently in. So I have 5 sites, if I’m in the backend of domain.com, the “Backend” link for each of my additional sites leads to domain.com/wp-admin, instead of domain.com/site1/wp-admin, domain.com/site2/wp-admin and so on.

I can manually change what site I am editing by typing in the correct URL, but that will eventually become a pain as we add more sites.
